Answer 1

I think that is not possible. The idea is, after you call setVideoPath(), the MediaPlayer underneath is in "initialized" state and is no longer interested in the exact path. You should keep this information (what is the exact file you are playing) elsewhere.

Answer 2

Actually, you can get the path if you override setVideoURI. Check this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12360508/219321
